CadicaGroup & Giorgi enter the Avant-Garde project with Circular Fashion Packaging – The Oceans Canvas Project

The idea is to combine a creative and original design with a focus on the circular sustainability, not only related to the choice of a recycled and green material but also to its reusable function.

To achieve this goal the company started a new collaboration that talks about environmental and social sustainability, in support of local activities that respect and especially practice them.

The material chosen for the project is Ocean Canvas, produced by a paper mill that collaborates with Tide Ocean SA, an association that helps to clean the Southeast Asia oceans from plastic wastes. Local fishermen collect the plastic they find in the sea and transport it to Switzerland, where it is compressed into granules and made into yarn.

The used finished fabric is composed by 100% recycled plastic, coated with water-based acrylic. For every square meter of fabric, 0.5l bottles are recycled; while 1% of the turnover is donated to water conservation projects.

Composition:

Base: 55% Recycled PET (from PET recovered from the oceans) 45% post-consumer R-PET

Coating: 100% Water-based acrylic coating

Environmental information:

• PCW, contains 74% post-consumer recycled material.
• REACH Regulation Compliance
• CPSIA Compliance
• It doesn’t contain any products or derivatives from animals
• The supply chain used in the OCEAN CANVAS production undertakes to follow the business procedures in reference to UN Global Compact
